The
Chamber of Commerce of the Tonawandas Inc. held its official ribbon-cutting
Sept. 24 for its new location, 254 Sweeny St., North Tonawanda.

"We now
have more square footage, are handicap accessible and street level with a
beautiful view of the Erie Canal. I would eventually like (it) to become a
Visitors Center for all travelers," Executive Director Angela R. Johnson-Renda
said.

The new
location comes with new incentives for those looking to become a member.

"New
members can expect marketing assistance through our membership,
member-to-member discounts, free certificates of origin, AAA membership and 15
percent off on renewal, and much more," Johnson-Renda said.

The
chamber holds monthly meetings with partners Gateway Harbor, Twin City
Promotions and Economic Development committees made up of citizens,
volunteers and business owners from both Tonawanda and North Tonawanda. It
also offers monthly networking events, annual expos and community events.
